Don’t Let the Thought of Wearing Braces Stop You from Straightening Your Teeth

February 9th, 2015

If you’ve ever considered straightening your teeth but have changed your mind due to the thought of having to wear orthodontic braces – here’s some information that might help you reconsider orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign Clear Aligners have definitely reshaped the public’s expectations of orthodontic treatment. It’s not uncommon for teens and adult patients to decide against treatment if they are not a suitable candidate for Invisalign. Why is this? People are under the impression that Invisalign may be the only option for them to straighten their teeth without having to wear metal brackets that draw attention to their mouth and smile. Admittedly Invisalign’s technology does provide an esthetically appealing option – but it is not the only teeth straightening system that acknowledges the demand for incognito appliances and brackets – as other orthodontic manufacturers have also risen to the challenge of creating a system that effectively straightens teeth and corrects bite issues without the ‘heavy metal’ influence.

Not getting hung-up on the type of teeth straightening system is a crucial element in being able to be excited at the thought of attaining your ideal smile. Remember that no two smiles are alike – so though your co-worker is a suitable candidate for Invisalign – it doesn’t mean that you will be, but it also doesn’t mean that you can’t wear an alternate clear system that will do just as good of a job of straightening your teeth.
